Mechanic Virtual Training

Times are certainly changing in the world of auto dealerships. Zarowny’s used have a garage, now it is a Service Department. Zarowny’s used have mechanics, now they are Service Technicians. And soon, with latest development of electric vehicles, Ford will be adding virtual reality training to its repertoire.

“Ford Motor Co., in partnership with automotive supplier Robert Bosch, will use virtual reality to teach service technicians at dealerships how to work on the upcoming Mustang Mach-E electric crossover. Through the use of a VR headset, techs can learn how to service the crossover’s battery pack and how to remove and install the main battery. Bosch said it’s working on updates that would allow techs to virtually enter the vehicle. Ford is the first automaker to pilot the application in its service technician powertrain repair course, the company said.”

Can’t wait to see how this unfolds at Zarowny Motors!
